jason_l Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Everyone, I know i have these video's posted up in my build thread but makes sense to post them up here, i have them on youtube now so as i add more video's i will add the links here as well. Not much of a thrash yet as i need to sort a few things but will soon get there and i can give it more throttle but for now a few teasers....... http://youtu.be/g3X7MS_8gxg http://youtu.be/QB7F215tuN4 All comments welcome people Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 lol no serious, i love it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 lol Would love it to be on a similar level to yours mate but not too sure if im going mental power anymore. Going to just start with a measly 200bhp and then maybe a few years down the line maybe go more??? Still not sure on weight though, 600kg maybe?!?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Awesome!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 looks wild, bet it goes well once you get the chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Got.boost Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That's cool as fuck I now want to rip my 4e out and bulid one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Looks mint fella, be less then 600 id have thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah i was thinking more like 500kg, the engine and box probably weigh about 120kg maybe, I wouldnt go for massive power either, it will be more reliable and with that power to weight ratio even at 200hp thats 400hp per tonne lol!!

jason_l Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I don't think it will be 500kg, would love for it to get to that weight but i reckon im looking more at about 550kg+. Was aiming to eventually 5E it but in all honesty i think it will be more than enough with the 4E in there. Decided a while back to just keep it running a CT9, they are so cheap as they are that i can easily get another one if i have any problems and replace it. Will eventually go for a aftermarket ecu but for moment i will just keep the standard unit and later on down the line sort that. Until i give it a proper drive i won't know what its like for acceleration but i imagine its not too shabby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Lovely to see it finally running mate been following your thread for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks guys for the posative feedback. Still a long way to go though but its slowly getting there. Got the FCD fitted today and next job is to start looking at the brakes not bleeding correctly. My mate wants to come and see it on Saturday if he gets time so i may take it for a cheeky spin then, if i have a few problems sorted i might give it a bit more of a thrash!!!!!

Amjad Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Awesome I need to come see this when it's done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 About Bloody Time Jason! Remember u still owe me a passenger ride! Japfest? The CV's Clicking?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks Guys, Socks, i think i owe a few people passenger rides lol Might be the CV, problem is they are brand new outer CV joins and new wheel bearings so im thinking it probably won't be. I really hope its not a case of one of the driveshafts being a problem as i had them custom made and don't want to have to have them redone again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
templar2007 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 this is wicked mate the only other turbo buggy I seen was a r1 bike engine turbocharged that did about 200 mph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
